Possibly, and I'd be happy as heck if that is what we got. Great shot. Sound defensively, and 35 points a season like clockwork. The only negative I have about Aucoin was summed up as "the quietest 35 points you'llnever see by a defensman", as in he hit lots, but not hard, and was typically invisible, both on his points offensively, but more importantly, no "Special Ed" moments of defense. Anything more is a bonus, imo.

I was pretty bummed that we didn't land Schultz because who wouldn't want a bonus blue chip prospect, but not landing Garrison or somebody similar this off season who can play on Edler's right side would have been a disaster. Garrison at a $4.6M cap hit this off season is likely a great deal.

Schultz is a project that may work out...Garrison is a sure thing that will work out...its sorta like taking a prostitute on a date...you know you are gonna get laid...
